An IBF super welterweight title eliminator between Brandon Adams and Caoimhin Agyarko is reportedly set for April 18 at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. The winner is expected to earn a shot at the belt, currently held by Bakhram Murtazaliev.
According to The Ring, citing sources, the contest will headline a DMG Boxing event, with the official announcement expected shortly.
Former title challenger Adams (26-4, 16 KOs) of Lynwood, California, returned to winning ways in September when he defeated Serhii Bohachuk by unanimous decision on the Canelo vs Crawford prelims in Las Vegas. In his first attempt to become a champion in mid-2019, the 36-year-old dropped a unanimous decision to Jermall Charlo in their bout for the WBC middleweight title.
Agyarko (18-0, 7 KOs) of Northern Ireland was last in action, also in September, taking a split decision over Ishmael Davis on the undercard of Donovan vs Crocker 2 in Belfast. Earlier last year, the unbeaten 29-year-old defeated Ryan Kelly and Harley Collison.
Reigning IBF super welterweight champion Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) is scheduled to make his first title defense on January 31 in Newcastle, England, against British challenger Josh Kelly (17-1-1, 9 KOs).
Details for the reported Adams vs Agyarko showdown, including tickets and broadcast information, are expected to follow shortly.
